Just for funsies...

2:53.312, Watkins Glen Full Course, VERY wet.
255/40R19 front Continental extreme contact sports
275/40R19 michelin pilot sport 4s rear

the rear michelins suck. you see me lift a few times to go over thick water because they would just spin over it.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

You really had those Hankooks talking to you and what a solid run! Not sure it was all the Michelins fault in the rain as mixing two different tires ( brands ) with different compounding and tread patterns is not a very good situation in the dry and even more so in the wet, imho.

1:28.421 on Watkins Glen Short Course
2013 V6 Mustang automatic
boss 302 springs, strano bars, steeda wing, eaton truetrac, 295/40R18 Hankook RS4

Thats a manually calculated average speed of 100.23 mph... faster than Daytona for me...

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Impressive run on the short course, Duane, averaging 100mph per lap, anywhere, is moving!

 

[Fabman]

Impressive run on Duane averaging 100 per lap, anywhere, is moving!

6 cyl/auto non coilover car....damn impressive.
Might have to put Frankenstang in my will....

My Watkins short course video. We did it the Thursday before the Cup weekend back in 2018, my time would have been good for 34th in the Xfinity qualifying. 103.037 mph

What event was this? I've thought for a few years I could run midpack pace in an Xfinity road race....

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Well Duane remember you were on RS4s not Hoosiers,etc. Get a set on that torque monster and you might be 35th behind Steve for Xfinity qualifying, ha !

Hooked on Driving. The spring event in 2018 Same as the one you were at got snowed out. WGI offered HOD the Thursday before NASCAR weekend as a make up date. It was open track no run groups all day for non novices. Ran on Sport Cup 2s. Lots of fun. Met Ross Chastain in the paddock, he was wondering how he could do track days with us.

I was with SCDA - does HOD traditionally run short course or was that just for nascar?

Ross will need to learn that you can’t simply punt the guy in front of you before he drives an HPDE event. Just saying.

Looks like HOD doesn't even have a Watkins date this year. SCDA is great, Elivan is a good friend, great coach and driver.

here's my addition for Carolina Motorsports Park - 2018 GT350 1:43.18. Too many mods to list but full Verus aero, APR GT-250 71" wing, MCS RR2 Way, CobaltXR2 pads, Bridgestone RE71R 305/30/19 square

 

[Nbjeeptj]

Carolina motorsports park NASA - SE time trial May 6th and 7th. 1:43.66. 2019 mustang GT, MCS coil overs, Hawk DTC 70/30 pads, Kumo V730 305/35/19. This was my best time ever for this track it is a shame that it come in the morning practice session and not one of the timed events.

 

[PatrickStapler]

2:03.570…best I could do. 8 seconds behind the podium. Heartland Motorsports Park, Topeka.

 

[Duane Black]

A new lap.... it's not faster than my last year 3:00.791, but it might be worth noting my car is basically set up the same (Eaton TrueTrac vs Torsen T2R), but I am on a more endurance oriented tire (Hankook RS4) vs an autocross oriented tire (Bridgestone RE71R, discontinued) last year.

The tires just wouldn't give me the rotation a I needed,particularly in the slower turns of the tight and slalom-y infield where I lost 2 of the 3 seconds according to my data.

New personal best at Blackhawk yesterday. I have not had the Boss on track since she refused to shift into fourth at Barber. Fortunately I was able to fix the problem by replacing the slave and master cylinders on the clutch, a fun afternoon.
New personal best 1:21.64. My new Garmin says an optimal lap of 120:23 is possible. I need to study the data, video and get back on track. If you have considered buying the Garmin, do so. It only hurts when you get the bill.

Region: Midwest
Track: Blackhawk Farms
Time:1:21.64
Username: TMSBOSS
Car: 2012 Boss
Mods: Suspension Cortex double adjustable and Ford bushings, Brakes
Tires: Pirelli DH takeoffs.
